He is said to have fired more successful torpedo shots than any other submariner during the war and was the first junior officer to be awarded the Knights Cross for his achievements. By wars end he had earned a Knights Cross with Oak Sword and is credited with sinking eighteen ships plus a British corvette and damaging four other ships. One of the lucky few to survive the war  Suhren wrote his memoirs in German with the help of a journalist friend under the title Nasses Eichenlaub. This English translation of the popular work is the first to be available.  Suhren remains a legend within the U-boat world mostly for his good humor and irreverent and rebellious nature  which frequently got him into trouble with higher authorities. Despite his refusal to conform  however  he had access to the highest circles of power in Nazi Germany. Suhrens reminiscences of those times make for some fascinating reading and include descriptions of social events few were privileged to attend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651872481333,"sku":"ByrdShop_1591148510","price":72.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781591148517.jpg?v=1781843284","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/teddy-suhren-ace-of-aces-memoirs-of-a-uboat-rebel-9781591148517","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
